What does it mean, anyway, in this day and age, to be an apostle? To be sent?
An apostle was commissioned by the Head of the body. An apostle could be considered an ambassador of Christ. Just to say you are "sent" means very little, and it is a shame to demean the apostleship to some catchy slogan based on the meaning of the Greek word.
